this year, we have seen the rebound in oil prices. since the beginning of may, when we first saw oil come back $50 per barrel, it has had a hard time getting substantially above that level. 5995, it cannot really seem to hold above 60 for any substantial time. if you look at energy stocks, we see that within the stock market . one of the things keeping us from falling further. you see companies all gaining. i talked about the outlook for production. tomorrow. we have had the industry talking about show production to some extent. if you look at my terminal, i .ave shale production this measure production forecast to fall for this month.

chinese companies listed in the u.s. like alibaba, already happening in november. if they decide to include shares today and get the ball rolling, you're looking at 40 to 50% weighting in china in a few years. alix: that is a lot of of waiting. is that unusual and what is the monetary value, how much money goes and of china as a result? >> yes, it is unusual. nothing diversified has that big of a waiting toward one country really are china is also unusual, you could argue. if you look at the total amount of dollars this could mean in aters, i would ballpark it 300 billion. if you go and think $1.7 trillion is benchmarked to the emerging markets index, a lot of active management and ultimately trying to beat it.

borderline $2 trillion. if you look at a 15% weighting, i come up with $600 billion at some point. alix: those are serious numbers. i want to switch gears as i have you on the air right now. the bond market route we have seen has spread to junk bonds. what kind of damage in outflows have you seen in the junk bond etf's? we havee past week, seen 1.5 blowout. it is only 3% of the total. they can tell you sentiments, smart money, etc. buts definitely noteworthy it makes sense the price is starting to fall. something not really with that too often is this jump on it that took money. it tracks short-term, they sought inflows of about 100 million.

are still nipping at their heels and are still behind at this point. you can make the case is a safer investment than years ago. was 37% of peak traffic in north america. but one game of thrones came on, that fell to 33.5 percent to what you make of that? some content is still king. gil: i would argue their content has become king in a lot of ways . there has been a home run for them. orange is the new black season three comes out this friday. they released "daredevil" in partnership with the disney deal they announced a few years ago. the content of netflix has become very high quality. alix: it still has competition. gil: there will always be great competition the netflix will not have.
